@haaretz/commitlint-config

Shareable commitlint config enforcing the Haaretz commit convention (mostly angular, but a bit more relaxed).

For use with @commitlint/cli and @commitlint/prompt-cli.

This configuration checks every commit message to ensure it complies with the following structure:

type(scope)?: subject line

body?

footer?

The following rules must too be observed:

• The header (first line) length is no more than 100 chars at length (warning)
• The header starts with the type of commit at hand. Options are:
  • build Build-process related commits.
  • chore Maintenance. General chores that don't fall into any of the other categories
  • ci Continuous-integration related commits (e.g., fixing Travis build, setting up Jenkins, etc.)
  • docs Documentation related commits
  • feat Commits introducing a new feature
  • fix Bug fixes
  • perf Commits dealing with measuring or improving performance
  • refactor Refactor commits that introduce no new functionality, infrastructure or fixes.
  • revert Reverting an old commit
  • style Reformatting, missing commas, semi colons, etc.
  • test When only adding missing or fixing failing tests
  • WIP Work in progress
• The header may include a scope denoting what parts of the code are affected by the changes
• The scope must be enclosed in parentheses
• The scope must be lower-case
• The type and optional scope must be followed directly by a colon (:) and a space
• The header must include a subject succinctly describing the commit
• The subject must not end with a .
• There is a blank line between the commit-msg header and body, if one exists
• There is a blank line between the commit-msg body and footer, if one exists

Installaion

Install with Yarn:

yarn add --dev @haaretz/commitlint-config
echo "module.exports = {extends: ['@haaretz/commitlint-config']};" > commitlint.config.js

or with npm:

npm install -save-dev @haaretz/commitlint-config
echo "module.exports = {extends: ['@haaretz/commitlint-config']};" > commitlint.config.js

Usage

Install husky and @commitlint/cli:

yarn add --dev @commitlint/cli husky

And add a commitmsg script to your package.json:

"scripts": {
  "commitmsg": "commitlint -e"
  }

Husky will setup a commitmsg git-hook that is executed every time a new commit is created, invoking commitlint with the -e flag, which causes it process the commit message from .git/COMMIT_MSG.
